Shit that's going to be uncomfortable on a long ride for you.

Good luck with it.

Seriously though where do you fit it?

I think you place them strategically along your route in advance...

Codcutter has his on the rear rack, it comes with a black cover, looks like a tank bag has been strapped on.....

Mr Codcutter is an Iron Butt vetern and rides a 2ltr twin cam....... he needs the extra fuel......

Do they do them in chrome?

 

[newboy]

This could go acrss the US in 1 go!

 

[WEE BOAB]

Do they do a chrome one, could I fit one on the sportster, would it look shite, would it be dangerous in a bump or drop, so many questions,

It fits on the rear rack..or thereabouts ..doubles my range...and why the fuck would it be more dangerous than the standard tank in a collision?

What if it comes loose cos your shit at fitting stuff , bounces down the road, ruptures hits a lamp post bounces off hits your bike again while your cruising ( riding slowly on your Evo) looking in shop windows and you and your bike burst into flames ?

That may cause a pedestrian post traumatic stress.

It would be fucking dangerous if an artic run up your arse whilst it was strapped on to your rear rack.....that would be funny though....

 

[Mutley]

Most Harleys have tanks that pretty much match their 'arse' range. Just stop more often

no more dangerous than having 20 ltrs right in front of yer nuts

 

[Fenlander Strasse]

And being run over by an Artic with no extra fuel on board is considered safe?

If you get "rear ended" hard enough to tear off a properly mounted tank, I think the last thing you will be worried abou is the tank.... But, if you want to think that adds to the danger of you riding your bike..feel free.
